'Ethiopian tenants? Out of the question'
Ynet News
Real estate agent trying to find apartment in Ashkelon for new immigrants shocked to discover building has policy of not selling flats to Ethiopians, 'because it drops the apartments' value.' Deputy mayor: Unfortunately, I've encountered this problem many times.
By Shmulik Hadad
Israel News
Ugly racism in Ashkelon: R., a real estate agent from Ashkelon, arrived at a building in one of the southern city's neighborhoods recently with a couple of new immigrants, and was shocked to discover that the place has a policy of not selling apartments to Ethiopians.
A thorough investigation revealed that this policy is shared by all of the building's tenants, and perhaps the residents of additional buildings in the area as well – most of them of Russian descent.
In a conversation the real estate agent had with A., the owner of one of the building's apartments, A. asked about the potential buyers. When he heard that they were Ethiopian immigrants, he replied, "Out of the question… This is unacceptable in my apartment.
"Excuse me, but there are no Ethiopians in this area at all, and there won't be any. This is our policy. I have no problem with them living somewhere else… Anyone can come, but not Ethiopians. This is how it is in the entire building, at least I hope it is, in order to preserve the apartment's value and the building's value."
In another conversation, A. repeated his stance, adding, "We’ve kept this rule of not selling to Ethiopians for 16 years. I can't speak for the entire house, but this is how I feel… It immediately drops the apartment's value… Although I'll be leaving the building, their apartments drop 30% in value… I'm no expert in the details, but the price goes down if Ethiopians come.
"I don’t care who lives here, I'm not racist. But when I leave the building where I have lived for the past 16 years, the rest of the tenants will look at me as a traitor because I sold to Ethiopians. I don’t want to ruin my relations with my friends."
A. went on to explain, "It just happened that there are no Ethiopians in the houses around us. A quarter of the apartments have been sold in our building. There are no Ethiopians at all, and almost everyone is Russian.... It's not a written rule, but there is such a decision that it drops the apartment's value.
"This isn't a racist issue, this is reality, which proves that it drops the apartments' prices. Why? That question should be directed to those who don’t want to pay. It's not my call, it's the fact on the ground. People call me at the apartment and they almost always ask, 'Do you have Ethiopians in the building?' It matters to some people, that's all."
The apartment was eventually sold to a couple of new immigrants from Russia.
'No Ethiopians here'
Another resident in the building, who only identified herself as Irena, also clarified that "we have no Ethiopians in this building". Pointing at the eastern end of the neighborhood, she added, "There are Ethiopians down there. We don’t have any. I don’t know who I'll sell my house to, but I won't sell it to Ethiopians. It's our building, we're all friends here, we grew up together, and each person wants to live next to the people he knows."
"And you don’t know the Ethiopians?" she was asked. "No, I don’t know them, and I don’t think I want to get to know them," she replied and hurried home.
Ashkelon's Deputy Mayor Avi Vaaknin, who has previously been in charge of the city's welfare department and has dealt with issues concerting the Ethiopian community, said in response the he is familiar with this phenomenon.
"Unfortunately, we have encountered this phenomenon many times, and each time I was shocked because one expects such phenomena to disappear in this era. But each time you hear about it you think it's a one-time incident. Unfortunately, this phenomenon exists, and it's good that it has been exposed in its full ugliness, because raising this issue will only help fight such ugly phenomenon," he noted.
Former Council Member Shlomo Blai, head of the Ethiopian community in Ashkelon, was shocked to hear about the story. He said he had heard about the phenomenon in the distant past, "but I couldn’t believe such things still exist in Ashkelon. It's shocking, outrageous, and simply awful. I talk about it and I'm all shaking with anger.
"It's unthinkable that such things happen in 2009. Each time I hear about such racist things I ask myself what sin have we committed. Is a person's skin color enough to cause people to treat other people like this? They are not criminals or bad people, but rather people like you and me. I won't keep silent over this issue."

My brothers and sisters in ISRAEL, you have started your journey after centuries. You are in the promise land but it will never be easy for you. You have to stay strong fight for your right like African Americans. We have a black president in America now.(African decent). We will have A black Jew president in Israel soon. Forgive the Russians, they are not civilized socially. They have lost their human values during the long communist era.
God is with you.

Peace!!!

the russians jews are at the bottom of the food chain in israel and looked down by the rest of the jews. its no surprise that they are looking down on the poor and recently immigrated ethiopians.
but the ethiopians need to fight them and show them their place not turn back.

Even though I don't condone racism in any shape or form, I feel the so called "Ethiopian Jew" are definitely out of place. They don't belong there. To me, they are Ethiopians may be with different religion (Jew) and need to go back to their homeland Gondar. As they had/have been coexisting with their other Ethiopian brothers and sisters, still Ethiopia is their natural home and they will be welcomed back . All we are seeing is pure racism and all this is because of economic issues. What everyone needs to question him/herself is that: Do you think these people would migrate to Israel if the economic situation in Ethiopia was much better and the envy of others? My answer, is no! if that was the case they wouldn't resort to migrate they would have been happily living in their original place in Gondar. I am sure few still go to israel but the majority would be happy to stay home practicing their religion with no problem. So, people I don't see those people will get the respect and so called "Jew" status in Israel at all. They are going to go through all kind of problems. Israel has been using those people as buffer to fill the areas between the arabs and the so called real jews. So, people wake up and realize your real home is the beautiful Ethiopia where you will be naturally respected and cared of. I know, right now Ethiopia is relatively poor country but don't leave your natural place for foreign handouts, remember Ethiopia is growing fast and it will not be long when all its people prosperous. So, brothers and sisters come back home build and develop your area that is your homeland.

This is pure racism like the 50's and 60's here in the U.S and the Israeli gov't should take very series actions on those who treat Ethiopian-Israeli as trash.
What a shame and David...you are an asshole loser who has no idea how wonderful the Ethiopian community is. Read the story stupid before you start bluffing. The second Russian person whom the asked said she never met Ethiopians and she does not want to me one, which then tells you none of those people know anything about Ethiopians. They are simply racist people who judge Ethiopians based on the color of their skins not their characters. And we are not suppose to judge people on the color of their skins, instead we suppose to judge people based on their characters, how they behave and act etc. I use to like Israel and allow supported them for standing for themselves against the Arabs but after reading this I am rethinking my support to them from now on. This is not acceptable by any standard
yahooooooooooooooooooooo

It is a well known fact that the Russian pigs who have been immigrating to western Europe, the USA and Israel have created such a stigma in racial lines, as well as a culture of mafia, gangsters and a humongous inferiority complex they cary. The government of Israel needs to act quickly and decisively on this Russian immigrants, before things get worst.It wont be to long before the Ethiopians takes matters on their own hands if the government does not take actions.

Hello Ethiopians!! Are you still sleeping?? This is a wake up call. If we Ethiopian want to get respect like our forefathers, we have to earn it.
Our forefathers have been God fearing, respectful, unified, and conquerors!! They never kneel down for those who disrespect them.
My fellow brothers in Israel,to get respect you have to earn it. Show them who you are, be united, love each other, be strong more than ever and never give up.
If possible, show them your Ethiopoian side. Be like zerai Derse, Abdisa Aga. Show them how to die with your dignity rather than with shame. You knosw what I mean!!
God Be with You!!

Go back to ethiopia. actually I was offended by the movie that shows a fake history of jews in ethiopia.Ethiopians have never abused jew people and it wasn't fair to see people, some hodam, to betray the good people of ethio as if they are abusers and racists against jew. you reap what you sawn. However, it is still painful for me to see them being abused in Israel. Ethiopians always welcome you, come back.
Fuck Israel. don't spend one night being a second class citizen. you have never been colonised, come and live in your proud country.
you better be killed by woyane than being beaten by a jew soldier. fuckers. hate them.

This is racism nothing else. If you have some experience about racists, they are the ones who are mostly ignorant, poor, ugly and less confident. It has been seen time and time again most racist people are ugly people from their own stalks. Hitler was not handsome. Check in your neighborhood who show extreme racism upon you he/she is not blond hair, not blue eye, not even straight nose and most importantly they are poor.
I wish the felashas remain in Ethiopia. They must fight for their freedom too while they are in Israel. They are the true Jewish people. The Russian Jews are bunch of Germans not Jews at all. They are economic immigrants tired of communism.

We in the west should bring these shameful Jews to light in the USA. Israelis digging their grave. Bring racism based on skin color in the news here in the USA. Call talk shows, post a video in youtube, do whatever you can. This shameful act of racism needs to comeout to light. We wil see then how Jews in Israel survive the rath of Arabs if popular support in the USA dies off because of their racist outlooks. It makes me sick, the blood of those Jews in the Nazi concentration camps is not dry and we have their children treat other Jews as such, sickening.

Those of you talking down on our ethiopia jews brothers & sisters you guys must not be ethiopians.
The russian jews,eastern europe jews,may harbor racism ,because most of them came from non diverse country.
It's normal for a new immigrants to go through such as,job dicrmination,house discrmination when they arrive in new countries.
When east europe jews,irish,russians arrived in america they went through the same if is not worst discrimination by thier white counter parts.
Ethiopia jews in israil must continue to struggle within avenue of laws,courts,to combat such racism.
It's not ethiopia culture to cut and run from obistcles,problems,burdens when we face it.
Every ethiopians around the world must support thier siblings in israel to bring equality and justice.
The young ethiopian jews must stay a way from rap music ,geto style life in general from culture of despair.
The young ethiopian youth in israel should continue to focus on your education and let not be distract by culture of despair...
People like the notorious ERTIRAN DAVID is simply jelous of ethiopian jews ,because he's asylam is rejected and lives on the street....
Let's not depict a picure that the felashas are only from gonder.
Thier are thousands of tigray ethiopia jews lives in israel.
Given the thousand years of relation ship between israel and ethiopia need not to be distracted by few bad racist immigrants from russia...
I wish my ethiopian jews the best in your new found country.And i hope you over come racism with the help of the authority.....

I have read the T&C, and to my surprise the second point says 'You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.'. This and others are good T&C if you really stick to them. And frankly I have yet to read a political or racial comment free of those conditions, specially the above one. So the thing is why do you post a comment even if you know it is against your own T&C? the other thing is do you have the right to locate a personal via his or her IP address? I didn’t read that in your T&C.
To the habesha Israelites, I have nothing to say except fight for your freedom, after all that’s how your land is founded.

What is new in this story? Jews are the worst racists. They will never accept Ethiopians as equals. They even question the Jewish background of those who immigrated from Russia, let alone Ethiopia. Some others who returned to Israel from different corners of the world are seen as second class Jews.
Ethiopian Jews can die for Israel, but they will never be accepted as true Jews, not in a very conservative society like the Israeli society.
Ethiopia will always be there to receive them back.

Good news. One felasha boy around 18 before he left for Israel he used to live in my area in Addis Ababa and he shouted at me that you Ethiopians are stupid and he is the citizen of Israel. . He thought that when he is going to live in Israel he will get every thing for free without hard work.

No doubt Arabs and other races in this area are the most racist race in the world and historically and have been like that.Look at around and middle east you see the cruliest place on earth. Perhaps that is why the almighty nature punishhed them with empty deserts, roasting sun and sanduns.

It is not a sad story. Unlike the rest of black people all over the world, who
taken by force, these Ethiopian blacks
went to Israel thinking they were
different than their brotheres next to
their home. Simnply by following some
Jewsih practicews, they thought they would be accepted in their motherland that is not meant for them, but actually the Palistines. How ricdicuolous they now cry
for racism. They should come back to
their real home: AFRICA!!!!

Why don't they learn?
They are victims of whites, Arabs and others for thousands years, but not by blacks. Yet, they are against blacks thinking they would release their anger and frustration getting from other races worldwide by being against the Blacks.
The Misers(before the Arab came there since 7 century in Egypt), enslaved them slaves for centuries. The pyramids and the entire Miser (Egypt) civilization was built by the Israeli Jewish slaves. Moss was found near to the river as a baby abandoned by his family because the Egyptians had a policy to wipe out all male Israelis.
They forced to leave Israel and dispersed all over the world. They are victims from all direction but not by blacks. But they are against blacks. They are not honest people.
Hitler and the rest of Europe did what they did especially in the IIww because they are not honest and they have been considered as blacks. Even today in Europe, they are living in fear. They are considered to be blacks there.
Neo-Nazis that are created to attack the Jewish are still active in Europe. They are using every possibilities to attack anything has to do with them. In Russia there are strong neo-nazi groups against them. Yet, those came from Russia are against the Ethiopians in Israel.
One thing they have to know is that the Bete Israelis (Ethiopian Jewish) have lived for centuries in Ethiopia with no discrimination at all. They might be poor materially as the rest of Ethiopians were/are. But Spiritually and mentally they were free unlike the jewish elsewhere, especially in Europe. The Bete Israeli also are welcome home(Ethioipia) to visit or to live. No one would discriminate them because of they are blacks. But the Russian and other immigrant Jewish don't feel and get treatments the same way if they return to place they came from including in Russia, Ukraine and the likes. .
The Ethiopian Jewish must be strong, wise, hard working and educated. In addition, they also must not cut ties with Ethiopia. They must continue speaking Amharic and practice the culture including their children. They must know that they are living in the most fragile place on earth. If something is seriously happen, they are always welcome to Ethiopia.

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.

I am sure by now you all know whom to blam first. About the RUSSKI. who are raciest in Israel. I tell you that the Israeli are now tired of RUSSIAN becouse of DRAGS,prositutes and Robbery which is quite commone among RUSSSIANS.They even sell their weapons for Hamas and other groups.

Aba;
Calm down boy. You seems are angry with everything including with yourself. While criticizing one of the few hard and good working and dynamic Ethiopian blog (Nazret), what is your contribution in general? You mean, your comments? Hahaha. Try to be more than that. Because naturally you are more than that if you use your natural ability.
If you are dealing in a community or group of people, you must be prepared not to have always-own way but get and take ways to walk together to reach to common grounds.
Have you asked yourself why your comment is not posted? Do you think it is a personal thing? Boy, be a grown man from your thinking. Give respect, appreciation and every possible support to this blog serving us for years with aim serving Ethiopia and the Ethiopian people. Do you think it is easy and a joke to run a big blog like this Blog? It needs non-stop commitment 24/7 a day for 365 days a year for years including financially.
So, be thoughtful and give respect and admiration to those Ethiopians sacrificing their life for the Ethiopian sake.
To be clear, I’m one of the blog visitors who have nothing to do with the blog directly. But as this is my favourite blog, I love, trust and respect it for the sake of Ethiopia.
If you are a wise man, say to Nazret “sorry”. Think about it. We are getting services from this blog for free for many years. We have to know appreciate and help one another rather than demanding always own why.

Can you imagine how diaspora ethiopians are being treated in Europe and other western countries? its worse than the way Israelites are treated in Israel, atleast the ethiopian jews do enjoy support by main stream politicians and heavy weights of Israeli politics, Afterall they were airlifted to Israel by various operations. One of those operatuons was undertaken in the 1980's and was code named operation solomon.
Ethiopian Israelis have all rights to claim Israel as theirs because of blood and religious linkages. Imagine how diaspora ethiopians could be treated in Europe, and other western countries. Most of the ethiopian diasporas are living as refugees, they werent invited to come and settle in Europe. They are treated badly in various institutions. they cant stand get organised and fight back injustice. In this aspect the Israeli ethiopians are better of, specially the young ethiopian jews will take the fight straight to the Kennesst and sort out their problems.
We should think of the diaspora ethiopian loosers, who love to rally opposing the ethiopian government. These are groups of people who feel humiliated by western governments and are now trying to take the fight to Ethiopia. They are begging their hosting countries to stope sending aid to Ethiopia. We see them otganising rallies and vigil opposing the Ethiopian regime. I just want to remind the diaspora loosers who are living in the belly of a beast to fight the injustice and abuses of rights. Leave ethiopian government alone. Ethiopia is on the right track of development, ethiopia needs people who can oppose the government in Ethiopia not from US or America.
Down with rascism

Given the fact that 22% of Nobel Prize winners are Jews shows their culture?s systematic drive for success and focus on education.
World, instead of vilifying a people and culture that breeds success, why don?t you emulate it?! Instead of trying to increase your relative standing by bringing Jews DOWN, why not instead just try to bring yourselves UP?
In the Torah it says, ?a light unto all nations,? and ?all nations shall be blessed through you.? Has it ever occurred to you that if instead of persecuting us in jealousy, that you should be inspired by us and therefore succeed WITH us?
Do n´t BLAM all ISRAELI. there are racist among ethiopians too.

The question of racism is alive and well all over the World. What the Ethiopian Jews have to do is fight for their right and hurt the rascals where it hurts most- their bottom line. The most relevant question isn't whether those Ethiopians residing in Israel are Jewish or not. so long as they consider themselves as 'Jews' who are we to judge otherwise. Some of the commentators alleged as if they lived in peace and harmony in Gondar. i know that is further from the truth. they were outcast in and around Gondar. they were called names which i rather not scribe in this forum. so much for objectivity!
but the truth the matter is our Ethiopian compatriots temporarily exiled in Israel are more Jewish than the Russians most of whom indulge on pork driving the religious hierarchy nuts.
in the final analysis, what our brothers and sisters , in Israel, have to do is fight for their rights. we encounter quite a bite of racism in The West and most of us seem to have found a way to survive and flourish. it boggles my mind why we advise those living in Israel to return back to Gondar where there are little to none economic prospects. racism/xenophobia/religious intolerance are to stay with us even in the ascendance of a man of African decent to the helm of the highest office in this World. speaking of racism, i am aware of reverse racism by countless Ethiopians who consider Caucasians as ' ferenj-wulaj' bi la bi la

Why don't you ask your shintam selves why you boy cot aid for ethiopia children with your new friends erterans?
Why don't you ask your dedeb selves protesting ethiopia air line in canda with those shabia's?
Why is it easy for you to condem and belittle other ethiopians ,but not your hodam selves?
Why don't you ask your coward selves what have i done to help the orphans in ethiopia?
Most of the negative comments coming out aginst the ethiopian jewes are from envious erterans

Be responsible
Some of you are criticizing Russia because of the Russian Jewish conduct in Israel towards the Bete Israelis. But this has nothing to do with the Russian and Ethiopian people.
You must know:
When the rest of Africa/black people were under slavery by a white man all over the world, an Ethiopian priest, Historian, Traveller and linguistic was treated with dignity and high value in Russia including with marring a Russian woman. For the record an Orthodox priest can marry one and be faithful to his wife the rest of his life. If she died, he can not marry another. If he marry, them he will not be a priest anymore.
From this marriage was born including the father of Alexander Pushkin who became a full Russian general and a trusted man to the Tsar and respected by all Russians. Then Alexander Pushkin (the father of the Russian language and literature) was born.
Alexander Pushkin was selected the most admired and respected Russ ever lived the millennia. Boris Jelsin also said publicly Pushkin was/is the biggest Russian person ever lived.
Recently: Soviet Union under Russia leadership gave education to more than 30,000 Ethiopians. I can go on and on about the Russian contribution and relation to/with Ethiopia. We are practising the same religion. There are hundreds of reasons why we Ethiopians have to have good relationship with Russia. If you are talking about racism, you have racism every where even between the same races.
The Russian Jewish community in Israel don't represent the great people of Russia especially when it comes something bad.
As far as Israeli concern, it is a relationship takes us back at least 3000 years. We always loved and respected each other. Instead of blaming the Israelis whom trying to change the primitive Bete Israeli to become the 21-century human being, you have to see how the Arabs are treating our girls in Arabia and in Ethiopia too. They are the one affecting our country for centuries. They are the worst enemies to black people. They are organizing and supporting terrorist groups against Ethiopia while 86-95(depend on the season) Egypt’s fresh water consumption comes from the Ethiopian Highlands. Only 5-14 of the Nile water in Egypt comes from the white Nile. 97% the entire fresh water in Egypt comes from the Nile including for animal and agriculture use. Only 3% is from Egypt. Yet, look what they are doing against Ethiopia including organizing all Arabs to become against us. This are the real enemies to us and the rest of Africa and Humanity in general.
One Somalia guy told me once about what happened to him when he was in Saudi and other Arab nations their first question to him was "who owns you" meaning they think he must be a slave to an Arab.

Comment from: challenger [Member]
Amharan ena Tigren yeminekem ale ende? I thought the "Real Ethiopians" are the "Master Race?" And it hurts, too. My brothers in a "foreign" land, let me give you a simple advice. Acceptance doesn't come by force or for free. First thing first. Protect your integrity and pride. Don't fight for acceptance. If they look down on you, reciprocate by looking down on them for that, and move on. If they don't want you in their neighborhoods, don't fight it because that would make it look like you are forcing or begging them for acceptance. In the long run, you will pay the price for that kind of artificial assimilation. Instead find a neighborhood where you are welcome. If there is none, ask the govt to build one for you. Other races are just expressing a preference here. The fact that they see you as inferiors shouldn't be taken as a malice. I think what they want to do with their private property should be their business. Even if the govt offers to pass a law that would prevent this, as in the U.S, it won't solve the hostility you would face in those unwelcoming neighborhoods once you move in. Malice is when their preference starts to interfere in your education and work. You should demand for an equal opportunity in public education and employment. Those are your business. As long as they don't make you homeless, live anywhere else where you feel comfortable. Don't sweat it to fit in. Forced integration has not done even the African Americans any good. Whenever possible, live in Ethiopian neighborhoods and work for Ethiopian businesses, the govt or start your own business. Don't relay on the locals for everything. Remember, you are the only ones who will get yourselves respected, not the govt or the law. The law can only protect you form violence and discrimination. Here in the U.S they have laws that force respect where it hasn't been "earned" or given. In my opinion, it's better to live a separate life than a forcefully integrated life with forced respect. Once you respect yourselves and you start living your own life, at least they respect you for your pride. As long as you are given an equal opportunity in schools and at work place, the rest is a matter of preference. So learn to respect others preference even if it feels bad. It's like a very ugly girl rejecting you. If you concentrate on her ugliness, you will be just fine. But if you concentrate on her rejection, you will be stigmatized and live a victim-hood life (ghettoized life). It's all what you make it out to be. But please stop being "shocked" by and "angry" at their reaction to you. I had a Russian co-worker who once told me that if they see any black guy/gal walking in the neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, they would put a knife in his/her stomach. Many Ethiopians who lived in Russia can attest to this; Russia is a very hostile place for black people. I would say it is even more hostile than European countries like Germany. But even the non-Russian-Jews are no saints when it comes to race. The funny thing is both of them are regarded as inferiors by the rest of the Europeans. So, really, it's how you conduct yourself and what you think about yourself that matters in this world. Black people shouldn't take this too personal. And most of all we should solve the main reason why we should have a contempt for ourselves--laziness and stupidity. That kind of attitude and behavioral adjustment may help us with others too.

Hagos,
Jew-hater muslim fanatic, easy. Racism is everywhere. They'll fight and eventually they'll win just like African Americans have won against racism in the USA. The history of humanity is fight-win-lose and the jews of Ethiopia are no exception. why is this such a big deal?
Although there is no blatant racism in Ethiopia like the one in this piece, I'm not sure if jews/Falasha/ of Ethiopia fared well when they were in their " motherland" and callign them to go back to Ethiopia is like askign African-Americans to go back to africa. You know they're not going to do it.

Bad comments about Israel comes not from Ethiopians but those Fundamental Muslims thinking they are helping the Palestinians this way and the Eritrean Immigrants that are their asylum application was rejected by the Israeli.
The Arabs and Muslims do hate any Jewish coming back to Israel after more than 2000 years in Exile in Ethiopia, Russia and elsewhere. That is why Muslims are attacking Israel this way pretending they are supporting the Bete Israelis which is false.
Let me tell you one true story:
In 1962 three Israeli military academics came to Ethiopia to train the Ethiopian special force. During the training, one bomb was wrongly used and it was about to explode while in the Officer hand at the time many students around him.
You know what the Israeli official did?
After giving a quick warning to his students to run away, he lay down on his stomach covering the bomb below with his body to protect the students. His body was totally dismembered but no single student was wounded.
But he had possibilities to through away, or doing other things to save his live with or with out injury while among the students there could be some casualties.
This is the true relationship between Ethiopians and Israelis. Miner incidents between individuals or groups do/will not change the millennia deep-rooted relationship these two people have. Think about your own govt conduct towards own people and country.
The point is don’t associate it always with racism. Take it as part of the society or community relationship. In USA and mainly in Europe there are places you cannot drink, walk through, live and work because of skin colour. You have still a nasty class system in England. Before critisizing the Israeli, you have to follow what they are doing to the very back ward Bete israeli to make them part of the modern society.
Having say that all bad comments are not from Ethiopians. True Ethiopians don’t hate Israel no matter how big and bad the Issue is. When the Israeli population know the truth how the vast majority mainly the highlander Ethiopians are feeling towards them, they will be committed as the Ethiopians are to our two people present and future relationship without any reservation, hesitation but with full commitment and dedication relaying one another.
Bete israeli must not use racism to escape from their duty. Instead they must fight for their right by being active in all directions including education and job and having own businesses. They must feel at home as they have the full right to feel that way.
The Arabs and Muslims do hate any Jewish coming back to Israel after more than 2000 years in Exile in Ethiopia, Russia and elsewhere. That is why Muslims are attacking Israel this way pretending they are supporting the Bete Israelis which is false.
Let me tell you one true story:
In 1962 three Israeli military academics came to Ethiopia to train the Ethiopian special force. During the training, one bomb was wrongly used and it was about to explode while in the Officer hand at the time many students around him.
You know what the Israeli official did?
After giving a quick warning to his students to run away, he lay down on his stomach covering the bomb below with his body to protect the students. His body was totally dismembered but no single student was wounded.
But he had possibilities to through away, or doing other things to save his live with or with out injury while among the students there could be some casualties.
This is the true relationship between Ethiopians and Israelis. Miner incidents between individuals or groups do/will not change the millennia deep-rooted relationship these two people have. Think about your own govt conduct towards own people and country.
The point is don’t associate it always with racism. Take it as part of the society or community relationship. In USA and mainly in Europe there are places you cannot drink, walk through, live and work because of skin colour. You have still a nasty class system in England. Before critisizing the Israeli, you have to follow what they are doing to the very back ward Bete israeli to make them part of the modern society.
Having say that all bad comments are not from Ethiopians. True Ethiopians don’t hate Israel no matter how big and bad the Issue is. When the Israeli population know the truth how the vast majority mainly the highlander Ethiopians are feeling towards them, they will be committed as the Ethiopians are to our two people present and future relationship without any reservation, hesitation but with full commitment and dedication relaying one another.

DAVID, you said: “they are not good people specaily from Gonder”. You are not any different than those racist Russian Jews. May be you had some bad experiences with some one from Gonder, but hating the whole race and labeling them as--“they are not good people” say a lot about you—YOU ARE ONE BIG MORON. I have many friends and family members from every ethnic group from Ethiopia and they all are exceptional good law abiding, hard working, and peace loving people.
You must be one of those hateful Woyanes or one of those backward triablist separatist groups. SHAME ON YOU!!

Time of awakening, we as an Ethiopian has been slipping for many years. We have been looking for (Hebiste mena), Looking for Other National to solve our problem, Looking ourselves down and assuming there is some one with better ideas or knowledge to fix our problem if not, we pack our bags and hade to the next or far away land looking for some one to help us (we learned the word of Beinte Smale Miriam – when we were a little kids and this might have a lot of impact in our behaviors and what we are now) as an Ethiopian Learning what is happening to the Falashas is Very Hart Braking, But you only have one life to live and I will advise you to go back to Your Country . There is no such a suffering in a human life and Dying at the situation you are now, What are you going to pass in to your kids and grand kids if there is Racist People and Government who brought you in to Israel to make you a servant or the one long lost Slave of the Solomon empire. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee, You need to get up puck up and go to your country, your have some one who loves you cares for you and protect you.

Hatred, only hatred as usual, on this blog. How many of you can afford to buy a house in the US, Europe or Australia? How many of you do have an opportunity to talk about your daily race-related problems in your host countries? How may of you could afford the luxury of presenting your case to a lawyer, Media or to a particular governmental or non-governmental organization?
Racism is everywhere! This is a white man's world. I have seen many no-go areas for Colored people in some exclusive residential areas in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, London or Rome.. Even in the African Nairobi there are still residential areas reserved only for people of European origin. Landlords always tell you that the price for their condos can go down if the accommodate Black people, don't they? Haven't you experienced that? Well, many have got used to it, so they stopped complaining.
Racism is bad for those who promote and perpetuate it. This sort of people don't even know who they are, they don't want to, because they are fearful of waking up to face the reality, the truth – the kind of world they don't know.
Racism is a symptom of a disease that blinds us to the fact that we are, in a very real sense, all one. When we wake up to the fact that the welfare of the other is our own then racism and other prejudice will seem pointless and silly.
I am very sorry for those Ethiopian Israeli children who were victims of the Hamas rocket fire in the City of Ashkalon. I heard there were many children of Ethiopian origin. Please try to abandon this area. Don't bother about the racism. In fact, God is warning you not to buy a house and stay in the city. Weired as it may sound, please take most of these hostilities as a blessing. The Lost Tribes of Israel are no more in Asia, Europe, America or Ethiopia, you all are now in the promised land, and it's up to you not to get lost in the suburbs, in the universities, and in the corporate chase of Israel. You need to find the spiritual Israel your forefathers have foretold you.

To every body who live around the world .
Shalom.
Somebody has comented that we are not civilized and a good people ,iam very sorry about it. first off all you have to know what is going on among different emigrant group,that every emigrant tolerated some kind of discrimination even it is rarely
seen killing of one imigrant by other group of imigrant with out any reason as occured in other parts of the world. i dont deny there is no discrimination but not like South Africa and most Arabic countries. we know what happend to Ethiopians in This countries .
To tell the truth we were more discrimineted in Ethiopia than in Israel. we are the small minority in israel but we have a member of parlament what we have not seen in America,Canada or some where else.
Dont forget 98 percent of the people from Ethiopia are poor peasants that there standard of living are changing dramatically.
Now let us compare Ethiopian Imigrants who live in America 98% of them have higher Education. Is any one who could convince me they are living in a luxury life ? and work in prestigious position ? It is funny!! dont forget that we are in information age. iam sory that Nazret.com is becoming full of garbage and admitting comments of this kind of people.
Love for my Ethiopia is stedfast!!1

I am so diappointed by the so called DAVID's statement that he called all Ethio-Israelis' mean and bad people. How in the earth that he sided with the Russians and called his brothers and sisters ideiot...I think he is anti ethiopian jewish or Russian jewish or from Eritrea. No matter what and why he is uneducated, selfish and brain-less coward. I love and adored GONDER and GONDERIANS they are the who fought and still bleeds to their bloved Motherland and its freedom.
God bless Gonder, Gonderians, and True Ethiopians
God Bless All.

You are pathetic. You are not the real Bete Israel. You must be one of those pretending one of them to get into Israel giving wrong facts about yourself and accusation against Ethiopia that was your home for more than 2500 years. Have you ever been in Gojam or Gonder where the Bete Israeli have lived and still are living? I’m sure you have been there. Because if you were, you wouldn’t even think to say the way you are shitting here this way. For the record, Ethiopia doesn’t need you if you don’t need her. The game is on her hand.
As my for fathers did I also born and grown up in the area where the Bete Israelis were and still are living without any boundaries. No one asked or knew back them who was Bete Israel or not. We all were/are Ethiopians.
Desta= Mekera;
You are really stupid. If you go to all over Gojam today including remote areas where there is no communications and connections to the outside world, if not all of them, the vast majority think historically they are part of Israel. My grand mother who lived to her 98-birth day was praying always peace in Jerusalem and in Israel, of course in Ethiopia too. The traditions they are practising in a day, weak, months or year basis are almost the same with old Israeli Traditions. The Hebrew language, culture and customs we are witnessing in Israel today are new. But in remote Gojam and Gonder, you can find especially the old Israeli traditions, customs and the likes.
You are very wrong saying "Bete Israeli were discriminated in Ethiopia" it is the reason some so called Bete Israeli have used thinking they would be loved by the white/brown Israeli. Others also are telling them false accusation and bad names against Ethiopia to make them to distance themselves from Ethiopia and when it happened they can control them.
But the wise and real Bete Israeli (not the fake ones like Desta) must think well and keep their connection with Ethiopia including in the coming generations. The English invaded Australia 200 years a go. They wiped out the entire native Australians with in short period of time and they claimed the continent as their own country the same way happened elsewhere including in the American continent and new Zeeland.
The vast majority of Australians are not born in Australia and immigrated less than 100 years a go. Yet, they are declaring Australia is their own country. This tells us about the Bete Israeli who lived in Ethiopia for more than 2500 years relationship and right about Ethiopia. How it is possible they don't feel they are Ethiopians unless sick people like Desta are interrupting them? The Bete Israelis are the only Jewish people never ever been deported, imprisoned, discriminated, hated, massacred or similar things happened to them. We know what happened to other Jewish in Europe and elsewhere.
So, Desta calm down and use your right thinking. No one believes you and any one saying the Bete Israeli were discriminated in Ethiopia. Boy, they were living/still are living the same way of life with the rest of Ethiopia. Some of them even had better life because they were handy among them.

Auschwitz and Racisim
What has happened to Jews in Germany didn't just come out of nowhere. In Amharic we have a proverb which says: "Beseferubet Kquna Yesferuletal"
What is happening in Israeal will create anti-semitism around the world and Ethiopia, which has been pro Israel will start to hate Jews.
In the end, what I see is that the history may repeat itself. Even it is not in Germany, somewhere around the world.
We have to fight racisim. It doesn't matter where, who is doing it and when ever it occures...

This is not about being Felasha or about being Ethiopian or about being Ethio-Israeli. The so called Phenomenen is simply a deep rooted hatred of the white folks against people who happen to be Brown coloured. The World is changing, things are happening but it will take time untile the Black race is treated with respect. Ethiopians are proud people with proud history, our Jewish brothers in Israel need to fight for their right. But they should also mentain a good relationship with Ethiopia and Ethiopians. They have to accept and respect their Ethiopian brothers on the Streets of Tel Aviv, and help them, organize them, use the opportunities in Israel educationaly, economically, politically, socially etc...
As to the Rusian Jews as it is pointed out by one person above they are at the lowest level of the food chain in Israel. Any Ethiopian who got money can have three east European or former soviet union wifes, you can import
Please open one Bar in that area and sell the Russian women there
)Or Better give them away for free..

Ethiopians is what they are.
They are NOT Jews and they do not belong in Israel, a nation where killing another human for land is customary. Israelies or European Jwes who claim atrocities commited against them by their Nazi counterparts, turn right around and do the same to others.
What a shame.
Well, I do believe the Ethiopian govt should bring back those who do not want to live with these trashy baby killer europeans who kill for land and call them selves survivors of a holocaust who in fact are nothing but racist mofos.

My fellow Ethiopians do you see who and what Zionist do even to Ethiopian jews. Do you see whay the Palastinians are fighting Zionism? The West and Israel call itself a democratic country in the middle east. However, Zoinism today is not different than the social democrate
of the Nazi Germany of the fourties.

“What has happened to Jews in Germany didn't just come out of nowhere”.
For Christ sake, control your temper. Do not make a grave mistake. The holocaust and Jews racism are two completely different things that can not be compared in any way. I myself am against Jewish racism and Jewish crime against Palestinians. I condemn Israeli citizens video-copying the last incursion in to Gaza, enjoying themselves when civilians were getting killed. But, the holocaust is a different thing. Not condemning the holocaust is profanity and sacrilege to six million innocent Jews that were murdered by human-eating Nazis.
I am sure you do not mean what you wrote. It is a slip of the pen, rather a slip of the key board.

Oh no I am deeply hurt by what is going on with our brothers and sisters out there. Lord, it is so mean they are treating Ethiopians as though they have a contagious disease. Please people come back home atleast you have the respect and love back home! Than to go through all this bull shit. We are all created by God so why do we judge each other by the colour of skin? The above picture of the Ethiopian man being hurled by the horse is so disturbing!
But after all what do you expect from these Jews anyway? They are a bunch of pathetic stupid losers. Nowonder the Arabs kill them and feel nothing. I say they deserve it! Only Arabs can deal with them!!
Please my ethiopian brothers and sisters come home you do not belong there and they dont even want you! I dont think they even recognise you as Jews? Please pray for your safety.

Could we clean our own room first befor we crtisis others/

THIS!!If not corrected very early.IT will lead into another holocaust in the the land of holocaust fighters.Wait and see is not a solution.The ethio-jews begin praying in the ethiopian churches.The government of the synagogue praying people is not answering.You have not trust in the politicians and you will hear from God who does not discriminate due to your color.Do not loose hope keep working for change.Unite you all work miracles if you stand together.
Be still and peace of Christ will be with you.

Dear- Woyna Dega ----
I acknowledge your anger and nervousness.
By the way thanks for your unproven narrow and minimized history about the condition of Ethiopian Jews in Ethiopia. For sure you don’t really know what is going on here in Israel that every Jews who came to Israel from every part of the world feel superior to the other Jews, and the Jews who built
This country were mostly from Europe .They were highly educated, determined and religiously motivated to establish their own state because of the bad condition and anti Semitism in Europe and they are called Ashkenazies. Those came from North Africa, Middle East and Asia are called Sparadis mostly religious but were not educated. So there is a deep hatred among them even Israelites who came along time ago hate those Russians came recently. I have seen till now Job discrimination for the Russians though they are educated and mostly absorbed Immigrants from Europe. The State of Israel knows for sure that 50% of them are not Jews .this immigrants use Israel as a bridge to pass to other western European countries mostly to Germany.
Concerning real estate there are some minor problem ,if somebody have money you can buy every were you like don’t try to be agitated by every Information you get in the news paper ,they are talking about the place in Ashkelon 15KM from Gaza were the value of the houses are declined because they are short range from Hammas Rocket. I can show you a place in my town where you cannot see single Russian family because they hate them. Israel news papers write every minor thing when they have nothing to do. Finally nobody can deny that it is Ethiopian Jews who are receiving the best housing benefits than the Russian Jews. Would you say this discrimination?
Mr. Woyna Dega you are not the only one who love Ethiopia don’t try to convince me that there was not discrimination in Ethiopia, here now more or less I am proud that my fellow Ethiopian Jews do not throw their shits all over the field like an animal.
My fellow countrymen don’t try to show your sympathy towards us we know that we are real Ethiopian. We are also homesick like you .we don’t forget the place where our forefathers were buried, I love also the Promised Land Israel were my Other relatives including my beloved father rest in peace.
David Let (Alah,Adonai,Egziabeher,God) whatever you call(yeker Yebeleh) for give you because you don’t know what you are doing .I think you must not be an Ethiopian , I have a (?) mark on your educational background even you don’t know how to Insult you are really wretched .

What a shock! A country that complains all the time about racism and discrimination from every direction of the world can not clean its own ugly discrimination. Where are you Jews do not you remember the Holocaust? I do not believe you forgot what happened to you during the 2ND WW and later. A country that experienced the worst and sad event how come silent when these people your own people” JEWS" discriminated. I do not think i will have a remorse for Jews anymore unless start cleaning your house. Thank you

as an ethiopian, i am touched by the tragic and nasty situation in israel.i know MY citizens r suffuring in israel.however, i am also surprised by what i have seen on television( msnbc) about people from gondar who claim themselves " BETE ISRAELs." the program was aiming at collecting donations 2 those "BETE ISRAELS 2 help them going 2 israel. on that film, the " bete israels" told the interviewer that they r not happy living in ethiopia( gondar)and they say ethiopians r discriminating them.they also add that thier final goal is 2 go 2 israel and living with their " citizens." "citizens"! these folks r not even considering themselves as ethiopians. that is ridiculous.
i have no idea if these folks have not being treated equally in ethiopia. ARE THEY?
GOD BLESS "BETE ISRAELS"

I am so furious when I here story like this. As an American we give to Israel Billions of dollars every year and this is what what we get. We should start some kind of grass movement and force the Israel Government to make some king of action against those bigets.

Thanks for your balanced comments; this should be an answer and explanation for those who do not understand racism specifically for david and Weynadega. They thought they are living in an Ideal world.

I can not believe this!!! I live in DC the new comers on suburb of dc bethasda are Russian Jew most of the women work ass escort service which is prosttiution I am a bartender part time I know . I meet people from any part of the world any given time, you name it I never meet any one who likes Jews. I always wonder why. They even do not like each other. They are list happy people on earth they complain about anything just to get something for free like a meal or free drink do not expect tip from them. come and see Dc Ethiopians are one of the most loved people in USA trust worthy kind helpful when ever I find my self been help full to others you know what they say, you people are nice” Ethiopians”. Before the Arabs run them over go home or come to America. You should see all the Ethiopia restaurant in dc they are packed with people from all walk of life .I would not go live in Israel if they pay me. Have this out in the black media groups the can not stand them at all. I do not want my tax payer money going to be used in Israel to discriminate our brother sisters. The world is one place be kind and good to all. One love
